For hundreds, maybe thousands of years, people have been trying to figure out how primitive people could build huge structures such as Stonehenge and the pyramids out of stone blocks weighing thousands of pounds. Scientists have been stumped.

Then along comes a normal guy – a retired construction worker—and he says well, I would do it like this. And he does. This guy uses the simplest tools known to man and shows how simple and easy it would have been to create Stonehenge

This is a really great video clip. Amazing how this guy could figure out something that has confounded scholars for centuries. He not only figures it out, but demonstrates it!

This guy could build a replica of Stonehenge single-handedly, while a committee of 20 or 30 Civil Engineering professors from leading universities would be debating how it might be done.

Very impressive video. One of the great mysteries of Stonehenge is where the different rocks came from. They are not native to the area and are believed to have been transported from the quarry about 20 miles north while others like the bluestones might have came from over 100 miles.

Well, actually back in the 70’s a group of scientists raised granite blocks about this size using similar mechanisms. And they devised a plan to put the crosspieces on too. There were about 5-8 of people I think. Building stonehenge was never much of an issue accept for those people who think martians did it. The biggest questions were; Why? and of course now they know, and the other one was how’d they get the blocks there? It seems the granite needed was cut from cliffs miles away. This guy is very clever but an internet search would have saved him a lot of time.

That’s interesting. Saw on Ripleys believe it or not, a fellow in Florida, years ago in the horse and buggy days, cut a ton or more of solid coral out of the ground. transport it, then make things out of it. His stone coral garden. Maybe someone has heard of him. They never figured out how he did it, last I heard. Can’t even do it today.
